Features

Powerful 999cc Parallel Twin Engine
Powerful 999cc Parallel Twin Engine

The Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R delivers class-leading power and smooth performance, thanks to its powerful 999cc, DOHC, eight-valve, parallel twin engine with an aggressive 8,500 rpm redline and legendary Yamaha durability.

On-Command Four-Wheel Drive System
On-Command Four-Wheel Drive System

The On-Command® four-wheel drive system includes Turf Mode which unlocks the rear differential for a tighter turning radius and minimal turf damage, ideal for preserving your grass during household chores or any time you find yourself on delicate turf. The updated front differential also offers quicker locking engagement and disengagement.

Selectable Electric Power Steering
Selectable Electric Power Steering

The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 XT-R's class-leading selectable EPS system that allows drivers to select between three different steering modes to match driving preference via a dash-mounted switch. HIGH mode offers more assistance, best for low-speed maneuvers and relaxed riding. STANDARD mode is a great balance of light steering and positive feedback for trail riding. And LOW mode provides less assist for greater feedback and a sportier feel that’s perfect for higher speed riding. There’s also a differential lock setting that offers maximum steering assist when the front differential lock is engaged.

Comfort-Focused Suspension
Comfort-Focused Suspension

The Wolverine RMAX2 1000 XT-R's advanced heavy-duty suspension is designed to provide maximum articulation in low speed situations, achieving both chassis control and bump absorption when trail riding and maximum bottoming resistance at higher speeds. The wide-arc A-arms paired with the FOX® 2.0 QS3 shocks deliver 360mm of travel up front and an amazing 430mm of travel in the rear. The FOX® 2.0 QS3 shocks can be easily switched—without tools—between three custom positions to enhance comfort during relaxed driving, increase damping for normal trail riding and maximise damping during sport driving.

Ready to work Cargo Bed

Built with hydraulic assistance and a robust latch system, the bed transports up to 272kg with multiple steel tie-down points to secure cargo or attach accessories. Add in a full 907kg of towing capacity through a standard 2-inch receiver, and the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 XT-R is ready to get to work when you are.

Proven Transmission
Proven Transmission

The Proven Off-Road technology of Yamaha’s Ultramatic® system is unmatched in the industry. The CVT system utilises a centrifugal wet clutch purpose-built to withstand the power from the 999cc engine, and a constant tension belt system for tackling obstacles in high rev range without fear of damaging the belt. When more torque is needed, the low gear is perfect for challenging conditions. The robust CVT system means less time switching gears and more fun taking on any terrain.

Premium Front Bumper
Premium Front Bumper

A multi-piece front bumper gives the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R a stylish look. With two welded steel trailering tie-down points, factory-installed WARN® VRX 4500lb winch, accessory brush guard, and accessory pod light-mounting brackets, you'll confidently be able to take on the toughest terrain.

Excellent Braking System
Excellent Braking System

Advanced braking system offers exceptional power, feel and quiet operation for added confidence when attacking the trail. Adding to the package, the one-way sprag clutch offers natural and predictable all-wheel engine braking at all speeds, maximising traction, boosting confidence on hill descents and reducing wear on the vehicle's brake system.

Advanced LED Lights
Advanced LED Lights

Stealthy, advanced LED headlights with lo and hi beam provide wide coverage for confidence-inspiring night time driving. LED marker lights showcase the XT-R's unique, sleek style while integrated LED taillight, brake light and reverse light keep you visible on the trail and enhance visibility when reversing.

Legendary Durability
Legendary Durability

Yamaha's proven durability is highlighted by the durable surface treatments and carbon steel construction of the front differential and rear gear case. It is can also be seen in the large 62mm front and 72mm rear DAC (Double Angular Contact) wheel bearings, forged sway bar links, wide pitch A-arms and single stamped A-arms, and large vehicle-specific ball joints.

Built Real World Tough
Built Real World Tough

Like all of Yamaha's Side-by-Sides and full-size ATVs, the Wolverine RMAX 1000 XT-R is assembled with pride in the USA at Yamaha's state-of-the-art factory in Newnan, Georgia. This is one of the reasons that Yamaha Motor Australia specifies a three year factory warranty on RMAX and all other four-wheeled utility vehicles.
